Summary

What do a religious sex club, the Shroud of Turin, and a pedophile at a church fair have in common? They're all part of this week’s wild ride through religious absurdity.

Frank and Dan dig into:

The airline controversy over booted Jewish teens—anti-Semitism or just unruly French kids?
The Shroud of Turin gets debunked with 3D modeling.
A Tennessee pastor uses food bank funds to pay for prostitution—and lands in prison.
Guess who got kicked out of the state fair? Not the church with the pedophile.
The Vatican quietly reinstates a convicted priest after child porn charges.

Plus: A Salt Lake City sex club registers as a religion to dodge the law. Is this the ultimate hack to freedom in a theocracy?
